President's Corner
A NOTE OF APPRECIATION...
For some people in our community, the slowing economy has caused financial hardship. There are needs in our community that didn't exist a year or two ago. The Alpharetta Rotary Club's ability to fund our programs and help meet these needs is tied, to some extent, to the money we raise from our primary fundraiser - FunFest.
The business community that has supported our Club throughout the years has not been immune from the downturn in the economy. At a time when the needs in our community are on the rise, sponsorship dollars are on the decline.
Fortunately, there are some in the business community who are sponsoring the Club and our fundraiser. We are grateful for their support.
More importantly, members of our Club have responded and stepped forward to support our efforts for the upcoming Rotary year. The Club greatly appreciates the contributions of our fellow Rotarians and the businesses they represent:
Gold Sponsor - $5,000
North Fulton Regional Hospital - Charles Hendricks
Silver Sponsor - $2,500
Bank of North Georgia - Steve Hyde
Bronze Sponsors - $1,500
Alpharetta Convention & Visitors Bureau - Janet Rodgers
Bach, Dewberry & Hipes, LLC - John Hipes
Belle Isle Law Group, LLC - David Belle Isle
Breakaway Incentives - Mike Hart
Georgia Power - Johnny Andrews
Power Realty - Kirk Driskell
Verizon Wireless - James Benson
Friends of Rotary - $750
Ackerman & Company - Ted Schwartz
Roswell Office Furniture - Wayne Robinson
Our sponsors help create opportunities for all of us to have fellowship, serve others, and make a difference in our community. While much has been accomplished, and our goals are within reach, there is more to do. The Club's fundraising efforts will continue for several more weeks and we welcome your participation to help make this our most successful Rotary year yet.
